CALL for Veteran Artists: Exhibit August 2011

Recognizing the talent and contributions of our veterans

We are inviting Veterans to submit Art in any media on Veterans, War & Peace …

Art in any media means drawings, paintings, photography, prints, sculpture, video, installation and it can be any style. All work will be for sale, work accepted for the exhibit will be on display for the month of August. If your work is accepted, we hope you will be willing donate work to VFP to continue our mission working for peace and helping veterans? If not donating, the gallery will take a 30% commission, an additional 10% of the sale will go to VFP; 60% will go to the artist. All artists will be responsible for round trip shipping and if local to pick up art at the end of exhibit. Art will be on exhibit at the Portland State University’s Littman Gallery.

Art should try and incorporate conference theme and examine aspects of a personal experience to include early combat, anti-war protests, GI Resistance, PTSD, diplomacy, events and activities during any war. Thematic issues can include social, political, cultural, economic, and international dimensions of the war for all sides involved, activities in the US and elsewhere in support of, or in opposition to the war, postwar issues.

We encourage any veteran interested in submitting his or her art to fill our Entry Form and include a one page paragraph with artist’s statement and bio with your name, service, email, and snail mail address, with the title of the art work, media, size (dimensions width & height) and sale price. Please submit a JPEG digital photo file no larger than 300 KB (size digital image for 5 x 7 no larger than 8 x 10) of your work via dsheavfp72[at]gmail[dot]com - Have a consistent way of labeling files. i.e.: dshea_01

The deadline for submitting work is June 1st 2011. We will review all submissions and thereafter let you know by June 30th whether your work was accepted – we have limited space and expect a large number of submissions. Those works not accepted for show will be put on a digital slideshow for all to see during the convention with your permission. For information about the VFP Convention please visit
